You confuse...
Being "world famous" with being actually known. There are many "world famous" figures that just aren't known. Just ask anyone to pick the Queen of England, or even perhaps Hitler, Stalin or Mao out of a lineup. Most people wouldn't have a clue. The same goes for Gates and Seinfeld.

That and they're not on any current "hot list" of celebrities. At best they're more like "Them, they're so last millenia!"
